Case Studies

 

Palmer & Harvey

The P&H Group is the UK’s Number One delivered wholesaler and the UK’s 4th largest privately owned company. They also operate the Mace symbol brand for Independent Retail Groups.

Another long standing client for over 10 years we have worked closely with P&H during this time in developing and implementing a range of symbol imagery.

"Palmer and Harvey are convinced that our relationship with Alpen Signs has been crucial to the development of our symbol offering to independent retailers across the UK. Over the past decade Alpen Signs have been instrumental in the design and implementation of hundreds of fascia's on high street and forecourt outlets alike. Their customer service is second to none and we would have no hesitation in recommending Alpen Signs as a serious player within the signage industry"

Darren Bricknell – Operations Manager, Symbol.

 

Everards

“Everards Brewery Limited has had a long and established relationship with Alpen Signs to provide external signage and lighting in respect of its estate of public houses throughout Leicestershire and the Midlands areas.

Many of the pubs are either listed or in conservation areas requiring care and attention particularly in terms of planning.

Since joining Everards Brewery Limited in March 2007 to head up the property departmenti have worked closely with Alpen Signs in respect of both new and existing sites and have found them to be innovative, flexible and able to produce a high quality product. They are easy to deal with and certainly competitive.

I expect Everards relationship with Alpen Signs to continue for the foreseeable future”.

Tim Ward – Head of Property, Everards Brewery Limited.

Adams Kids

Adams has been on the High Street for 70 years and is a leading specialist fashion retailer for kids aged 0-10 years.

Over the last 8 years we have been the sole provider to them for all their signage requirements and have provided new schemes in over 250 locations. This has included a 100 store roll out over a 4 month period.

"Alpens ability to deliver a high quality product, on time, at a cost effective price ensures that they will retain the Adams business for the foreseeable future”.

Brian Smith – Head of Property, Adams Kids.

The National Lottery

In 1994 Camelot became the first provider of The National Lottery when they successfully won the first licence to operate a weekly draw.

Working closely with their consultants we produced a range of signage to promote the outlets where the Lottery was available.

In total we produced over 32000 signs for them including 2500 illuminated projecting signs which were installed over a 12 week period.

VisitBritain

"VisitBritain is responsible for promoting Britain as a world class tourist destination and for developing England's visitor economy. They promote Britain internationally and England in Britain and in selected European markets.

As part of these activities VisitBritain operates a quality rating scheme for most accommodation sectors in England and provide a range of signage to support these ratings.

In 2001 Alpen Signs were successful in winning the tender to provide these signs for the next 5 years. During this time we were able to improve the range of signs available and the procedure for ensuring their timely delivery.

In 2006 VisitBritain made changes to the design of the signs which resulted in a requirement to replace 23,000 signs in a 3 year period.

This was put out for tender and after an extensive process Alpen Signs were successful again in securing the contract. We continue to provide these signs on a regular basis."
